Kobe Bryant killed in helicopter crash

[Gough]

When judging someone's legacy don't you take into account all of their life? When Bob Hawke died his life as a whole was considered and it was generally agreed he wouldn't win any father of the year awards, likewise no obit of Hemingway would be complete without passing comment that he was fond of a drink. I'm no basketball fan but I know Bryant was a great player and he put a lot back but it doesn't mean you can white wash the parts of his life that show him in a lesser light when considering his legacy.

No one is whitewashing anything, though. His legacy as at the beginning of 2020 (i.e. before he died) was very different to 2003/4 or the late 2000s when he was winning league/finals MVP awards. I have no doubt that had the helicopter accident occurred 10 years ago that the public reaction would've been different. A lot of the media and basketball figures fawning over him weren't doing so 5, 10, 15 years ago.

Dude got paid a shit-load of money & was hero-worshipped just for putting a basketball into a hoop.....am I missing something?

"need live in poverty"

"need live in poverty"

Reckon it had a future tense attached to it there Chief.


- "By 1990, no Australian child will be living in poverty," the then-prime minister told Labour's election campaign launch on June 23, 1987.

it was a slip of the tongue
It was a bold and unattainable declaration and, indeed, an error - the script said "no Australian child need live in poverty"
Ten years ago, Mr Hawke said he regretted his "silly, shorthand" remarks of 1987, and he "should have just said what was in the distributed speech".

No child will live in poverty? 30 years on, Bob Hawke's promise remains an elusive goal

It was a momentary mistake that stuck with Bob Hawke and became, when all was said and done, one of his most memorable lines.

She was gang r*ped and he bought his way out of gaol.

You know when you're hurting her.they did more than hurt her. She was a vulnerable teenager exploited by monsters. Check her injuries out, it was gang rape of a drunk teenager.

Anyway, kobe risked his kids life to maintain his brand. He got what he deserved but the kids didn't. Helicopter shouldn't of been flying, was against the law to fly that helicopter in those conditions. The air traffic controller equally as culpable, they were navigating by radio lol...

Kobe a monster who now getting karma..

Where exactly did you pull this accusation from?

Pretty simplistic way of putting it. Athletes inspire young kids. Kobe has no doubt been a massive inspiration as easily one of the most well known players in the modern eras if not the most well known behind LeBron James.

He was passionate and wanted to improve women’s sport.

He was a mentor to many athletes.

If it was some other athlete who avoided the spotlight and wasn’t an icon the attention would have been far less.

Only people with small penises don't understand the duty of care you have when having sex. It's generally kobe fans with small Ones who stick up for Him, who deny the bleeding obvious.

Thier excuse didn't add up.

You Obviously not know someone gang r*ped drunk. Thier injuries are unique. hers were more severe than most rape victims.

And you don't say anything about how he killed his daughter because of what a monster he was. No father would ever endanger thier child like he did, allowing her in a copter in bad weather that was not licensed to fly in that weather and was navigating by radio. Just to get to a Kids basketball game where people were wanting and expecting him there.

Yeah buddy I was asking about the GANG part, which I'm pretty sure has never been mentioned by anyone, ever.

And I don't even like Kobe. Have rolled my eyes at a decent chunk of the tributes that are still popping up. My tiny penis has nothing to do with him, thank you very much.

Bill Maher....Jesus wept.

Has he stopped snorting lines of cocaine off high-class hookers navels in the playboy grotto as yet?...as a means to compensate for selling his soul out to corporations.

Anyone citing Bill Maher as some kind of moral arbiter, has lost their own moral compass....Blokes A complete moral & spiritual bankrupt.

She was a teenager on anti psychotics for skitzophrenia and after raping her, He and his employers slandered her, harrased her, leaked her name..

And he was a married man

Anyone who does not think this guy was a monster, is themselves a monster
A piece of shit

Kobe was so much of a coward he risked his daughters life for nothing and lost

This video is proof no one listens to words anymore, they just care who said it and decide from that if its right/wrong. He said nothing incorrect in that 6 minute video and the first reply is "bill maher sucks so its wrong".

Society is ****ed. Trump could cure cancer and people would find fault with it. Scomo could cancel bushfires completely and people would say its too late. People have lost the skill of logical and critical thought...

Very true. Poster even went into some nonsense about Bill Maher as a moral arbiter etc. It's just a video from a comedian pointing out that people are full of shit. That's it.

If anyone would be an expert on that, then it would be the uber-hypocrite in Maher.....That was the point.
